Ho'opono Cleansing Prayer and BP oil spill

The more I read about and look at pictures of the effects of the BP Oil Spill Disaster, the more I feel like weeping. Hubris and greed of mankind are dramatically showing results these days. This is no doubt helped by me living on the Gulf of Mexico, though no obvious effects have reached south TX yet. They're coming. . . .

There are multiple sites to look at, but these two have offended me this morning, so much so that I've already posted them on Facebook, which is an easy "click" maneuver.

Miles-Long Oil Plume Approaching Underwater Canyon NEW ORLEANS (AP) Researchers say a newly discovered plume of thick oil in the Gulf of Mexico is nearing an underwater canyon, where it could poison the food chain for sea life in the waters off Florida.

That idiot Glenn Beck (who went to my high school in Bellingham, WA!!) is "orating" about the oil spill, saying it is no more than a "house fire"! Go here to read Steve Young's post on "The Huffington Post."

Feeling impotent in this situation, I am reminded of Marj Barlow telling us about her practice of cleansing news she reads or hears with the Ho'opono (Hawaiian) Way to Put Things Back into Balance. Marj said that when we know about a problem, it is our responsibility to "clear" it. So when Marj watches the news or reads the newspaper, she spends time cleaning whatever sad/bad thing she hears, sees, or reads:

1. I am so sorry.
   
2. I ask for forgiveness. (I ask forgiveness for myself, my family, my ancestors for contributing to this situation.)
3. Please forgive me.
   
4. I love; I want to love.

Marj said that the solution is to forgive and love. (So on my list to forgive are BP and Glen Beck. . . And maybe I could try to "cleanse" them??)

It is easier and quicker for me to rely on this prayer: Bless___________, change me. Still, the practice of Ho'opono melds into meditation and prayer.

We need much cleansing in ourselves and in our world!
